Legacy of Sin

We Found a Dildo in the Captain's Quarters

JUN/11

Dearest Winter,

These are strange times aboard the Lightbringer.

As we implemented our plan of confronting the navigator with the artifact in his head, we found the 2 armsmen we had left behind to be making up a wall of zombies in front of him. Powering up the warp drive seemed to work, as the navigator this time was not content to sit in his chair while we fought. He advanced upon us, and we smote his ruin on the bridge.

The artifact, and 6-inch golden cylinder, was left behind. We encased it in some piping to bring it back aboard with us. I know what you are thinking – what a needless risk! Our decision was motivated by the fact that if we left the artifact behind when salvage crews came, who knows what destruction it could wrought. We decided it best to take it and report it to the Inquisition and let them handle it.

We also found a recording in Zeal’s room, which the captain was unwilling to share, presumably due to its personal nature. We new that Zeal’s last stop before deciding to get back to the Imperium was Footfall, so we decided that would be our next destination.

This is where things got strange.

After popping out of warp a few days from Footfall, we lost power. It lasted a few minutes, then was restored. When the captain went to her room, she found the long, cylindrical artifact sitting on her desk. It had been locked away in storage, so how it got into her room is a mystery. We presumed the power outage was somehow related to the artifact, that it had sucked power from the drive in order to “power up.” We have brought up our Geller Field to keep it from accessing the warp (as that worked against the navigator earlier) and are running the ship with minimal power.

We are learning now that the outage may not have even been related to artifact, but some other unknown issue on the ship. Mysteries upon mysteries, Winter. Hopefully, we can unravel them without unraveling ourselves.
